They Still Call Me Sister Book Review

The bonds of sisterhood uncover the truth in a psychologist
patient’s alleged suicide. “They Still Call Me Sister” is a fictitious
psychological thriller and murder mystery that will trigger conversations about
racial identity, sexual orientation, politics and the intersection of religion.
Kathy Carpenter, a former Catholic nun turned psychologist, had a patient,
Chanelle Trout, who allegedly committed suicide.

Carpenter, aka “Sister Nun,” does not believe her patient
took her life. Carpenter embarks on an investigation into her patient’s
alternative lifestyle that leads her into a scandalous underground world of
sexual obsession, drugs, murder and political corruption. In the process of
unraveling this mystery, Carpenter builds a closer relationship with her sister
Tina and finds herself relying on her sibling to protect her as she puts her
own life in jeopardy to discover the truth.

I received
a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.Kathy Carpenter, a former nun turned psychologist,
is known for her celebrity clientele.Unfortunately, Kathy reconnects with a young woman, Chanelle Trout, whom
she mentored until she began college.Their
reconnection has brought forth dark secrets with political connections that
could destroy many lives.

This was a
fantastic journey as we travel from past to present, to see where Kathy was
coming from, and where she is now.This was quite the page
turner as we try to uncover the truth.I
thought it was that Kathy has a supportive family.Even after Tina was run off the road, she
still assisted her sister. Kathy also
had great strength, she trusted God in all ways. This was great book throughout
and you’re certainly left guessing until the final piece of the puzzle! A great cozy mystery for a rainy, indoor summer day.
